I want to use these benches at a school reading garden are they durable enough to withstand children and being outside all the time

Iam very satisfied with these benches. They are constructed well and are durable as well

I have had mine (4 of them) around our fire pit for more than a year now. They are out all year long, and get lots of use. They are very heavy so I think even wigggly children would not be able to knock them over.

YES! They are awesome. My BF sits on it all the time, it's outside and he's 300lb!

I bought this bench last summer..I live in a very harsh environment, very hot summer and snow in the winter..I have kept it outside and look the same as when I first purchased it..It is very heavy duty and sturdy

I am a third grade teacher and I have these stacked and zip tied together to use as cubbies. They have held up remarkably to daily abuse and being full of books.

I think these are very durable, however I have mine on a screened in porch. I do have a dining set, made from the same material and that set has held up great in the elements. I believe these would too. Very comfy and elegant.

I agree with M. Wallace. The bench is very strong and I've had three adults sit on it too with no discernible problems at all. Love this set!

Our 5 and 2 yr old daughters use them constantly, great chairs...I would say durable for sitting up to 50lbs??

I would say yes. I purchased them for my 2 year old grandson and have held up thus far.

They are really strong but as most things will tell you and the previous reviewer can attest to they are fragile. If they're not going to be hit directly they definitely would suit your purpose. They don't FEEL fragile but if you let them even into each other they can break.

they are pretty durable, but will get bent when wheels roll over them. They're pretty large & get stepped on frequently. They slide on wood floors VERY easily & won't work if you put any 'skid-free' products under them. Good luck

They are fairly sturdy. Depending on how much you throw your backpack around, they should be ok.

its a pretty stable bench but i would not recommend leaving big heavy planters on it for long periods of time.i water proofed mine to protect it from moisture damage and i have put the smallest of planters on it so as not to hide the beauty of the table itself.

I would say yes, they are sturdy enough. I use them as bins for our shoes in our mud room and they've taken quite a beating and have held up nicely.

Yes! Also my kids are really hard on stuff and this has held up very well! Dozens of games played on this in the back yard, And still no problems! Plus small enough to store away and carry out on a whim! They are great!

The benches and ottoman is sturdy for a one year old to sit on. However, the benches should only be used as a foot rest for adults. A friend of ours who is about 145lbs sat on one of the bench and cracked the woods.

Hello, I have the benches for about 2 years now and lots of people have been using it. They are very versatile, solid and comfortable. You always can put some cushions on top of it.Thomas

I have used mine for about a month now and they are holding up very well. I did place a 2X4 at the bottom of the bench to keep the rack at the incline I wanted. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

I placed them outside and they have held up for a couple months now. They'll definitely fade but my dog now uses terrain feel as much as anything so they're worth using outside to get them acclimated initially

The stools are made of solid hard wood. I am not certain that you may use them for long term use out doors where they may have to withstand the elements. I bought my set for indoor purposes. I suggest that you contact the sellers of this product regarding the designed use of their product.
